Back in Town
Fans have spotted new artwork forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare IIon the Steam dashboard, suggesting that Activision’s billion-dollar shooter franchise may be returning to Valve’s popular PC storefront.
It has been seven long years sinceCall of Dutywas last available to purchase and play via the Steam platform, last seen in the form of 2017’sCall of Duty: WWII. Since then, PCCall of Dutyplayers have been confined to playing the first-person-shooter series exclusively through Activision Blizzard’s own Battle.net launcher.
The new image ofCoDveteran character Ghost,(as spotted by Redditor Kalinine), has led the community to wonder whether this year’s entry will finally see the storiedCall of Dutyfranchise make its return to the Steam Store. It should be noted that the artwork in question was mysteriously removed from the storefront soon thereafter. Given that 2021’sCall of Duty: Vanguardsaw a weaker performance than the series typically receives, perhaps Activision is casting its net a little wider this year.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IIlaunches October 28 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms.
